SEVEN MEN ARE KILLED Elwood, Neb., Oct. 24.—(Special Telegram.)—County Coroner Dow of Gosper county completed his investi- gation of the wreck on the Burling- ton .near Smithfield, which occurred on the morning of October 15, when the third section of stock train No. 116 ran into the rear end of the sec- ond section, from which eleven per- sons have fost their lives and four- teen others were injured.

Hanna, lying dead, by the jurors whose names are hereto subscribed, the said. fjurors, upon their oath, do say, we find that the parties above named camc to their deaths on the night of the 15th day of October, 1916, through the failure of the con- ductor and flagman on the second section of the train No. 156 to flag the third section. X “Also that the Burlington Railroad company is responsible in that it did not furnish the proper accommoda- tions for the passengers or proper equipment for running their trains. 1t being shown by the testimony that two engines in use on the trains above mentioned were running with- out headlights and the railroad com- pany is further responsible in that it does not provide agents during the night to keep the trainmen informed as to their relative distance from each other. 3 “In testimony whereof the jurors have hereunto set their hands the day and year aforesaid. “(Signed) “GEORGE M.

Dillon, a passenger on said second section, testified that he re- membered of the train stopping and of several parties going out'on the platform and that, in his judgment, the train had stopped from two to five minutes before it was struck; that he was inside the caboose and was taken out with the injured..When ehcx arrived at Curtis, about all of sai thirty-two went into the Burlington .depot-and .demanded a coach, as the caboosé would not permit all of them to sit ' down; that when they asked for the coach they were -told -that they couldn’t get them one, and for them to get out, as they were taking up too much room. All went back to the caboose. - Sigal Melton, testified that he was one of the passengers on the second section; that he went to the back door of the way-car to get. fresh air and of his seeing the third section when it was about twenty rods awdy, and of jumping off. He said that the train had been stopped about five minutes before it was struck, and that he knew the man who tried to unfasten the lantern on the back end of said ca- boose to flag the approaching train. Charles Dillon, another passenger on the second section, testified thgt when he got to the rear door of the way-caghat he saw the third sec- tion about a block’away; that he turned and called to the boys inside for them to jump, and then got off himself. In his opinion it was nearly ten minutes from the time they stopped until the third section ran into them. HYMENEAL.

It got red in places, especially between my fingers, and when I'd rub them a little, pimples or blisters would form, which filled with water. The longer I had this trouble, the larger these pimples got. I can't express in words what a terrible thing it was. I couldn’t find anything to help me—everything seemed to make it worse. I had about given up all |l hope of ever being cured. They were terribly sore, and I could not sleep for the terrible itching and burning. I learned of Resinol Ointment and Resinol Soap and decided to try them. Well, Resinol really proved to be a wonderful thing in my case. It relieved at the first application. I used about a cake of Restnol Soap and half a jar of Resinal Oint- ment and the eczema was all gone It hasn't returned sipce. I am so glad I tried Resinol Ointment’and Resinol Soap, as I do ot know how I could have stood that eczema much longer. It is a cheap ahd sure cure."—(Signed) Mrs. H. H. Denbow, Sioux Falls, S. D. .

KENNEDY AT GENOA Four Hundred Voters From All Parties Listen to Speeches for Over Two Hours. PARTY DELAYED BY RAIN Genoa, Neb., Oct. 24.—(Special.)— After a_day of plowing through 100 miles of muddy roads and delivering speeches along the line at Newman Grove and St. Edward, John L. Ken- nedy, republican candidate for United States senator, and William R, War- ner, republican candidate for congress from the Third district, arrived in Ge- noa last night at 8 o'clock and were received at the town hall by an audi- ence of about 400 voters of all par- ties and for two hours and a half they divided time in speaking and were hardly permitted to stop. When they sought to close their speeches they were greeted with cries of “Go on, go on” and similar expressions from their_enthusiastic hearers. Great Enthusiasm Manifested. Although the meeting was a regu- lar old-time republican rally and al- though there was much republican enthusiasm manifested, the speakers out of regard for the large number of loyal boosters among the democrats and independent voters of the audi- ence spent most of their time in dis- cussing those larger problems which concern all mankind and are patriotic rather than partisan. Both speakers were assured by mdny democrats and independent voters that they would receive their active support. Some announced that an effort had been made by the democratic incumbents to prevent them from leaving their party column, but that they reserved the right to do this considering the large moral jssues that were involved in this campaign, which are not parti- san and on which the democratic can- didates have not expressed them- selves. Speaking of the days when Mr. Kennedy was in congress Mr. War- ner related an incident which threw stated that he once wrote to Mr, Ken- nedy and to the two senators from Nebraska stating his wish and that the senators promptly wrote back courteous letters assuring him that they would look into the matter and that on the same mail he received a letter from John L. Kennedy, who was then congressman, saying in ef- fect, “I have done it.” The crowd cheered and applauded vigorously at this. Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Warner have many friends here. Charles G. Nelson was in charge of arrangements and B. J. Ainlay of Bel- grade introduced the speakers. Clyde B. Dean sat upon the platform with G. F. Rose, county attorney. At New- man Grove State Senator C. A. Ran- dall introduced the speakers and at St. Edwards A. A, Smith presided. Mr. Kennedy and Mr, Warner were gratified with the reception tendered them all along the line and they re- gretted that it was impossible for them to reach Albion and Boone as was scheduled, but the heavy roads made it impossible.
